Pull down the lower eyelid to make a small well for the eye drops to fall into

Squeeze a drop or two into the lower eyelid pocket of one eye

Quickly apply, in the same way, to the other eye

Put down the bottle, close both eyes and gently push against the inner (nasal) corner of the eyes, temporarily closing the tear drainage channels to allow the eye drops to soak-in and work more effectively

Dry eye drops can be repeated as often as you feel the need for them. You could let your eyes tell you or set up a regular schedule.

Keeping your eyes free from drying out completely will help to reduce the discomfort felt each time they start to dry out. It helps to keep eye drops handy in places such as by the bedside, in the office, in the living areas, in your work case and in your car.

Early treatment will prevent your eyes from drying out and help you maintain control of your tear film, keeping your eyes free from the discomfort of desiccation.
